Die Bedeutung dessen, was Steve bereits an entlegener Stelle meldete (http://www.archaeoforum.de/viewtopic.php?p=6393#6393),
möchte ich hier noch mal mit einem eigenen Thread betonen:
1. Mit der direkten Datierung der Knochen von Pester including Bison degiulii and Equus altidens together with African elements as the gelada baboon Theropithecus and the saber-toothed cat Megantereon whitei. It defines the latest Villafranchian chronological unit (Pirro Nord Faunal Unit) in the Western European mammal biochronology. The lithic industry of Pirro Nord represents the oldest occurrence of the genus Homo in Europe as it is attributable to a chronological interval between 1.3 and 1.7 Ma. This supports the hypothesis that the genus Homo, with Oldowaian technology, extended its range in Europe, probably from western Asia, during the first half of the Early Pleistocene. The new discovery from Pirro Nord changes the chronology of the first arrival of hominids in Europe and offers new perspectives in the debate about the human dispersal in the Early Pleistocene.[/quote:5624f88a62]
Damit haben wir ein zu Dmanisi passendes Datum, was wohl die Autoren dazu veranlasst, eine Einwanderung aus Westasien anzunehmen. Im Gegensatz zu Dmanisi liefert Pirro Nord allerdings nur die Werkzeuge und keine menschlichen Überreste.
